DE PERE, WI - The Forester women’s tennis team played matches on three consecutive days (September 29-October 1) for the second time in three weeks, but with mixed results. Lake Forest hosted and defeated Benedictine University 9-0 on Thursday before taking to the road and losing 7-2 at Lawrence University on Friday and 6-3 at St. Norbert College on Saturday. The Foresters are now 8-4 on the season.

All three doubles matches went to the home team on Thursday against Benedictine. Sophomore Alli Berry (Plymouth, MN/Robbinsdale Armstrong) and junior Anastasia Rudkovskaya (Buffalo Grove, IL/Buffalo Grove) won 8-3 at number one, senior Brittany Richardson (Little Rock, AR/Central) and sophomore Jaime Jackson (Milwaukee, WI/Divine Savior-Holy Angels) prevailed 8-1 at number two, and the team of senior Jill Chudacoff (Highland Park, IL/Highland Park) and junior Kendal Wapotish (McHenry, IL/McHenry) claimed an 8-4 victory at number three.

Each of the six singles matches were straight-set wins for the Foresters. Berry triumphed 6-0, 6-1 at the top spot in the lineup and Richardson took both sets by the same 6-1 margin at number two. Chudacoff recorded a 6-0, 6-2 win at number three and Rudkovskaya won 6-1, 6-0 at number four. The matches were a little closer at the number five and six positions as, respectively, Wapotish prevailed 6-3, 6-1 and Jackson edged out her opponent 6-3, 6-4.

After falling in each of the three doubles matches to Lawrence, the Foresters earned team points from the top and bottom of their lineup in singles. Berry posted a convincing 6-0, 6-1 victory at number one and Jackson won a pair of tiebreakers in her 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-3) win at number six.

Richardson and Jackson were 8-5 victors at number two doubles at St. Norbert but the Foresters came up short at the other two spots. Rudkovskaya knocked off her opponent 6-1, 6-2 at number four singles and Jackson extended her singles winning streak to nine matches with a 6-3, 7-5 triumph at number six.

In other Midwest Conference South Division action on Saturday, Grinnell College defeated both Knox College and Monmouth College to secure first place in the division.
